QPR wary of shock repeat as they play Rochdale

Queens Park Rangers will have last season's shock League Cup exit against Port Vale on their minds when they face Rochdale at Loftus Road.

Rangers capitulated 3-1 to the League Two side in the first round last season as boss Neil Warnock made it clear his priority was the League.

New owner Tony Fernandes will not countenance a similar display against their League One opponents in tonight's second - round clash - the first at Loftus Road since he took control of the club.

Midfielder Shaun Derry said: "The League is our priority. I'm sure Birmingham would rather be in the top flight than have won the League Cup. Our defeat was a bit of a damp squib - one of only a few of games when we didn't do ourselves justice."
